Yeah, I think I have the 4G version, cheaped out as my UK carrier didn't offer 5G in my area anyway. I checked the IMEI and it said no. The hunt continues! -
Doesn't look like my phone is compatible with Mint either.

Hi all, I finally made the move over to the US last week and we're starting to look into how to get me up and running with a cellphone that isn't useless beyond extortionate international roaming fees or a wifi connection. My phone is from the UK and my UK sim card is contract-free, I simply pay X p/month and it gives me X GB of data and unlimited calls/texts. Really simple. However, it doesn't look like anything like this exists in the US (if it does, I'm yet to find it). Does anyone have any suggestions for the best route for this? Some providers let you "bring your own device" (BYOD) and switch to them, but it doesn't look like my phone is supported for the ones I've seen (a Samsung Galaxy A15). Hubbie-to-be just suggests a new phone to make it simple but I really don't want that when I haven't even had mine 12 months! Thank you

I wouldn't say that's advisable as they will need to provide their mailing address on the DS-160 anyway. If they use your address, that could result in documentation required for interview being sent to you, resulting in you needing to forward it on to Jamaica... I'm pretty sure it would be more sensible for them to set up a PO box at the nearest post office.

Sounds like you need to have a chat.

Beneficiary Address History (merged topics)

Yes, repeat the address as many times as needed (providing a different address is detailed inbetween). As I said, you can go beyond the 5 years if needed. It's better to do that then less than 5. -
Beneficiary Address History (merged topics)
smilingstone replied to Yann21's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
If you lived at a different address than your family home then you haven't lived in your family home since 2004. You should put your CURRENT address as 20XX - PRESENT. You should then put any previous addresses prior to 20XX - PRESENT. Every different address and different time period should be included as a separate entry, even if the same address is repeated, up to 5 years (although mine went beyond 5 years due to how the years fell). For example; 123 Apple Street 2022 - PRESENT 456 Orange Road 2020 - 2022 123 Apple Street 2018 - 2020 789 Peach Lane 2016 - 2018 -

From what I recall, you do not need to provide beneficiary education history, only address and employment. If you have worked as a freelancer, this is self employment so you should put the date you started doing that (an estimate if you can't recall an exact date) and when you finished (in the first box used for current employment if it is still ongoing).
-
You haven't even talked and are querying visa processes? What if the process takes longer than you'd prefer? Would you still be interested or move your view to a country with a shorter time frame? USCIS aren't concerned with outdated and abusive customs. It takes as long as it takes.
-
My point is that FLR is for people wanting to remain in the UK, but that isn't the case for your partner. You can always request a transfer to your partner's home embassy. I won't comment on what should or shouldn't be said. If needed, he should tell the truth about the situation.
-
He shouldn't overstay on an expired student visa to wait for the interview, but has a right to stay as ling as the FLR application is submitted before the visa expiry. If its in process when the interview is scheduled, I don't see how that in itself would negatively affect things but I can imagine queries regarding intent to stay in the UK and intent to move to the US.

Refused doesn't mean denied. Denied means denied. This is what happens when you're in AP. It will change to approved once they're happy, and then shortly after that it will change to issued.

K1 Fiance Visa. Relationship Proof
smilingstone replied to Tiny Cat's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
We submitted one picture. For my interview I had more pictures taken since the initial filing but I wasn't asked for it. I was approved on the spot. All advice here is valid but ultimately pictures are secondary evidence as the dates cannot be proven (USCIS do not concern themselves with EXIF data). Your primary evidence is passport stamps, boarding passes, travel itineraries, accommodation booked in both names, etc. -
Helping with childcare isn't the purpose of a tourist visa. Good luck!

If you intend to file when you are in the US, then you complete that section when you are in the US. It doesn't matter if you think you won't be there when they see the form. Information needs to be accurate at time of filing. Why wait until your next visit to file? As long as your petition is complete, I see no logic in delaying it further.
